We demand you stop selling us youth as the ideal. Stop selling us tortuous devices, deforming treatments and toxic cosmetics

to make us look younger.

We demand you recognize the elegance of the traces of our valorous and eloquent lives.

We are tired of being trivialized.

We are tired of the underexplored, undervalued and underrepresented conditions of older women in all aspects of the art world, in museum collections, in funding opportunities and in commercial viability.
